Swish.

Everyone in the room looked at Shen Tang.

Even Shen Tang himself was dumbfounded.

She doesn't want to get married and wants to ruin her reputation so that no one will come to propose marriage to her, but she is not really unlucky to others.

One time, it could be said to be an accident, it was Young Master Fang's own bad luck and had nothing to do with her, but how to explain Duke Wen falling down in the sedan chair today...

In her previous life, she married Xie Guimo for good luck, but nothing like these happened. Could it be that if she were to live again, she would bring bad luck to others?

Shen Tang believes even more that his wishes will come true.

Well, there’s no need to send people out of the house to spread rumors now. I guess the rumors are already flying everywhere by now.

He tried hard not to laugh. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shen Tang showed an innocent expression, which made Shen Sui's head buzz. He raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. The old lady's brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch a fly to death.

The second wife sat aside, her face extremely grim. "When the eldest girl was engaged to the Prince of Jingyang, nothing like this happened..."

For fear that Shen Xian would be implicated, he wanted to get rid of Shen Xian as soon as possible.

But this is not something that the second wife can do just because she wants Shen Xi to be uninvolved. Her power to ward off evil is too strong. She has not even been engaged, but something went wrong just by proposing to marry her. Who would dare to do that if they are not afraid of death?

There are so many ladies from noble families in Kyoto. The girls from Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion have no more eyes or ears than others. They are not indispensable, so why risk their lives? Besides, Shen Xi had just been rejected by Jingyang Prince's Mansion, so it is even more impossible for anyone to propose to her.

Shen Tang looked at the old lady, then at Shen Sui and said, "Father, Mother told me not to get married before I turn sixteen. You and Grandmother, please don't rush to marry me off. Wouldn't it be better if I could stay with you for a while longer?"

The old lady is exhausted physically and mentally. Is it because they are not in a hurry to marry her now? No one dares to marry her.

The second wife sat aside, gritting her teeth in anger, and the handkerchief in Shen Xi's hand was torn to pieces.

Seeing Shen Xian and the Second Madam looking so angry that they had no place to vent, Shen Tang raised the corners of her mouth several times, afraid that she could not hold it in any longer. As soon as Shen Sui left, she bowed and took her leave.

All the way from Songhe Hall back to Qingyi Garden, every maid passing by looked at him sideways. Poor Shen Tang forced himself to return to Qingyi Garden. As soon as he entered the house, his shoulders were shaking with laughter.

Ginkgo was walking behind. She didn't know Shen Tang was smiling, so she thought she was angry. She said, "Miss, don't get angry and get yourself hurt. I won't bring bad luck to others. It's them who are not lucky enough to marry me..."

At this point, Ginkgo's voice stopped abruptly, because she walked to the front and found Shen Tang laughing.

ginkgo,"……???"

Ginkgo was anxious, "Miss, don't scare me. I'll ask someone to call a doctor for you."

As he was about to run out, Shen Tang stopped him, "I'm fine, I'm just too happy."

The girl was really mad.

Ginkgo was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. Shen Tang asked her, "Do you want to get married?"

Ginkgo shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to get married. I want to follow you forever."

Shen Tang smiled and said, "I don't want to get married either."

ginkgo,"……"

"How can it be possible for a girl not to get married?" Ginkgo blurted out.

"..."

Maids don’t have to marry, but her master can’t, right?

Shen Tang couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked Ginkgo's forehead, "Say one more word, and I'll marry you off right now."

Ginkgo shut up immediately and didn't dare to say another word.

But she didn't dare to say it out loud, her eyes were still glancing around. Seeing that Shen Tang was really happy and not angry at all, Ginkgo couldn't understand why her girl was so happy. What was there to be happy about?

The young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and she will surely marry into a wealthy and powerful family, and live a life of luxury without worries. How can a little maid like her marry into a good family? Now she only has to serve the young lady, and after she gets married, she may have to serve a whole family. Of course, she doesn't want to get married. Besides, no one will gossip about the maid if she doesn't marry, but if the young lady doesn't marry, the Marquis will be criticized as well.

No one knew that the wife of the Minister of Rites had come to the house to ask for Shen Tang's hand in marriage on behalf of her son yesterday, so when Young Master Fang was startled and fell into the water on the street, no one spread any rumors. But today, Duke Wen took Shen Sui to propose marriage on behalf of his son, and many ministers saw it. After Duke Wen got into trouble, the news of the wife of the Minister of Rites coming to the house to propose marriage yesterday also spread.

Anyone who heard about it would suspect that Shen Tang was a jinx.

Rumors from the streets, teahouses and taverns spread into the mansion. Ginkgo told Shen Tang whatever she heard, but unfortunately Shen Tang just ignored it and didn't take it to heart at all.

The girl is not angry at all. Doesn’t she know how to be anxious?

Ginkgo was discouraged.

Shen Tang was leaning on the small couch, flipping through a book. Suddenly, there was a knock on the window, startling her.

However, Shen Tang reacted quickly and stopped Ginkgo before she could speak. "You're here to find me. Go guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Ginkgo's heart was pounding with fear. She looked back every few steps as she walked out. When she reached the bead curtain, she saw the window was pushed open and a masked man jumped in. Ginkgo was almost scared to death. She was afraid that someone would come in and catch her meeting a man in her boudoir, so she quickly went out to guard the door and not let anyone get close to the inner room.

Seeing the man, Shen Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that scaring others can kill them?"

The man was silent for a moment. "Then next time I won't knock on the window and just come in directly?"

He wants to have another chance?!

It happened twice, and both times she was almost scared to death.

I really need to tell my father to strengthen the guards at the Marquis' Mansion. It is a Marquis' Mansion after all. If they allow people to come and go as they please, one day her own daughter might be carried away and sold without her knowing.

Shen Tang walked towards the dressing table and threw the jade pendant that she had picked up yesterday, hidden in the secret compartment at the bottom of the dressing box, to the man. "You're lucky to have dropped a jade pendant that you carry with you. You're lucky to be alive today."

The man caught the jade pendant and chuckled. Shen Tang suddenly realized what was happening, his ears turned red, and he stamped his feet, "You did it on purpose!"

The man checked the Marquis of Changping's mansion and beat the Marquis of Changping's son. The jade pendant fell next to the golden hairpin. It was hard for her not to see it. The jade pendant didn't fall on the ground. He put it there for her to pick up!

The man raised his lips and leaned over to look into Shen Tang's eyes. "You're not too stupid."

He scared her and called her stupid. Shen Tang really wanted to kick him out of the window.

But she didn't have that ability, so she could only think about it in her heart. She couldn't understand why she hadn't met this person for four years in her previous life, but she saw him twice in two days in this life. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

What on earth does this man want to do?

Shen Tang didn't like to speculate, so he asked directly, "Why did you suddenly come to me again?"

The man's forehead twitched when he thought he was being suspected to death. He looked at Shen Tang, who subconsciously took two steps back and bumped into the antique shelf, knocking the red jade porcelain vase to the ground. The man grabbed it and said, "It's not that I didn't want to come to see you, but I had to leave Beijing for something urgent after the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, I came back and you haven't promised it to anyone else."

Shen Tang didn't expect him to explain the reason for his disappearance. In her previous life, because she married Xie Guimo, he never appeared in front of her again?

The man looked at Shen Tang and coaxed softly, "Are you not angry anymore?"

The voice was low and seductive, and Shen Tang's ears felt hot. "Why are you explaining so much to me..."

"I said I would marry you, and I won't go back on my word," the man said.

...A man who doesn't even dare to show her his identity and face keeps saying that he will marry her. What proof can he give her?

She is no longer the easily deceived Miss Shen.

If that person hadn't saved her yesterday, she would have scolded him to death.

Shen Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Marry me? Everyone on the street is talking about me being a jinx, haven't you heard?"

The man chuckled, "It's not you who's against them, it's me."

Shen Tang was stunned, then his eyes widened and his voice rose, "Young Master Fang's horse was startled and fell into the water, and Duke Wen was injured. Was it all you who did it?!"
